Classic Ilizarov: How to stay active during 8 months in frames?

Edit Post

What kind of physical activities can you do while in frames for 8-10 months? Am I limited to walking and a stationary bike?

With a pretty active lifestyle I have now the vision of spending such a long time at home, without a proper workout is really depressing.

I am visiting Dr Catagni next month so if I decide to go with him I'll stay in Lecco. Any ideas how to enjoy my time there will be much appreciated.

Understood. No I'm not Italian.

175cm a great height?! Maybe for a girl LOL. 181 is an average male height in my country and it's even more for my generation. Out of 17 guys in my class in high school only 4 were shorter. I'm just mediocre and I've heard that I'm pretty short for a guy many times (yes, also from girls).

Honestly guys, let's quit asking this stupid question and stay on topic. Everyone here has his reasons to do this. Some aim for mediocre, others want to be average, and some want to stand out.

And you YourSpaceBoyfriend deserve a brain transplant.

Why are short people so rude, jealous and frustrated!? Just a reminder of your reply in another topic @YourSpaceBoyfriend

There are plenty of people on this forum who aim at 5'11 or 6ft. I spoke to Guichet and Catagni and they have operated on guys taller than me. What's your problem?

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on January 13, 2017, 07:50:05 PMAlso the "why are short guys so rude" comment of yours was really a load of crap.

Oh really?? Have you read YourSpaceBoyfriend's comment before that? How is that not rude?

Do you honestly think that 175cm is a great height for a male? I didn't say it's bad either. All the stats from well developed European countries confirm that it's mediocre height.

For a guy who is below 170cm 175cm can be a great height but stats are brutal and you are only mediocre in Germany if you are this tall and pretty short among young people.

Now I get a feeling that this thread is from another planet LOL: http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=4140. Why do you think I'm insane if I want to gain 5cm only to reach what you describe as "Comfortable height" there?

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on January 13, 2017, 10:30:10 PMYes, 175 can be a great height for one particular male. People like Robert De Niro or Tom Hardy absolutely ace that height and I would love to have their looks or charisma.

Why cannot you understand a simple sentence? Where did I say that you cannot be great at 175cm?! All I said was that 175cm is 6 cm below average in my country and age group hence statistically it's definitely not great for a male height.

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on January 13, 2017, 10:30:10 PMYou have to understand that height follows a normal distribution, a bell curve. That means no matter how tall people are, many will be below the average and there is nothing that can be done about it. And many men do great at that height. Like it or not, but that's a truth you cannot deny.

Pointless. So why YouwannaBeTaller?? Many men do great at any height, at yours too! We are all here because we want to move ourselves to the right on this curve simply because being taller makes us happier.

There is no point in arguing with them, just let them be. Also, you're absolutly right about what you said but avoid saying it. Why? Because alot of short people in here would love to be your height and when you say that a 175cm guy is short (which I agree but is debatable in many countrys) it's the same as saying that even after LL they will never be able to hit the average height which is like a dream to many of them.

I'm doing it at 172cm, I'd still do it at 175cm, I'd probably do it at 180cm as well. Why? because we all have our own goals and you guys should respect it.

Thanks mate.
